In the Bible, the Lord is shown again and again to be our defense in times of trouble or difficulties. Defense means protection, security, cover, or shield. It can also mean justification or vindication. Assuredly, Jesus Christ is our justification!

My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart. (Ps 7:10)

I will wait for You, O You his Strength; for God is my defense. (Ps 59:9)

He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. (Ps 62:2)

But the Lord has been my defense, and my God the rock of my refuge. (Ps 94:22)

The Lord is our protection; and this is something that we all need to recognize and to trust in, since we live in an increasingly hostile world—one that is growing even more antagonistic to the message of the gospel. Let us remember to confess, along with the Psalmist, “My defense is of God.”

It is essential for us to remain in a strong and vital relationship with the Lord. The Word of God feeds us and increases our faith. It reminds us who we are and of the One we serve. Don’t allow yourself to become complacent, or to wander away from daily Bible reading and contemplation.

Continue to worship with other like-minded believers on a regular basis because we’re encouraged to have fellowship with our brethren. (Heb 10:25) As we fellowship with other believers, they will support us and encourage us, spurring us on to good works! Glory to God!

Someone once said: "God votes for you. The devil votes against you. YOURS is the Deciding Vote!"
Family; music; reading; writing articles; and doing Bible research are some of my favorite things. I believe that God is good and that He loves mankind all of the time. He's never in a bad mood! He is our Savior, Deliverer, Healer, Reconciler, Provider and Protector. He desires a loving relationship with every human being. Praise God!
I have served in churches for 42 years in various ways--mostly in the background and in clerical and administrative functions. Eventually, I was promoted and given more responsibility. I was asked to teach and co-lead the Healing Ministry. At the last church in which I served, the Lord blessed me by calling me as an Associate Pastor for nearly 8 years. I love serving the Lord and His people!
